A/N sorry I didn't update sooner, but I wanted to make this a long chapter, so it is not just a very short chapter. Hope you enjoy. It is the longest chapter yet at 10 ½ pages.

Hermione put her finger in the hole and pulled. A door appeared and we opened it. We walked inside and saw the most amazing room every.

It was huge. There were 3 windows, and each window had a window seat. Everything was red and gold-the Gryffindor colours. There was in the far right corner 2 couches and a table. In the left corner opposite the couches there was a large booth like you would find at a restaurant. On the far right wall their was a large fireplace. In the corner opposite the fireplace there was a large bookshelf with all different types of books on it and around on the floor there were many overstuffed cushions. All the cushions were red and gold. The couches were red and on the wall there was a painting of the Gryffindor crest.

The 5 people stepped farther in the room and saw that the floor was covered in a rich red carpet. It was absolutely beautiful. Well to any Gryffindor it was absolutely beautiful.

Harry and I walked over to the couches and sat down. Harry reached out and picked up a piece of parchment off of the table and tapped it with his wand it didn't open. Hermione walked over and tried a complicated spell to try and open up the parchment, but it wouldn't open. I grabbed the piece of parchment from Hermione and pulled my wand out and said "We are Harry and Gina Potter, son and daughter of Lily and James Potter. God Son and Daughter of Sirius Black."

The parchment started to open. "How did you know to say that?" asked Ron

"Well," I replied, "I knew that the Marauders had sealed their map with I solemnly swear I am up to no good, so I just thought that if The Marauders had this room on their map, and it was decorated in Gryffindor colours, that they were the last ones to be in here. I heard Sirius mention that a room in Hogwarts would only open up to a true Marauder. So, that is why we are here, I guess. We are true Marauders. If it's not because we are mischief makers like The Marauders were, it is because we are their kids."

Harry then said "I was thinking about a name and I couldn't come up with anything. Finally I realized it was because we already have the best name. Let's be The Marauders. I know it wont be the same as Sirius, our Dad, Remus and Peter, but it will be something like it. I know we won't play the pranks that they did-"

"Yeah, that is Fred, George and Lee's job" cut in Ron

"As I was saying we won't do the pranks that they did, but we still room around and are always up to something no good like they were, and we are their kids."

"I like it." I said "Anyone that wants our name to be The Marauders put up your hand." Everyone put up their hands. "It unanimous" I said "We are The Marauders. We need something to make it official." I looked around and found another piece of parchment, this time it was open and blank and put at the top.

We are The Marauders, the kids of Lily and James Potter, and God kids of Sirius Black. We are Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Gina Potter, Ronald Weasley and Ginerva Weasley. A of September 2, 1992 we call ourselves The Marauders. Original Marauders James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Marauders officially on September2, 1971.

Signed

Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Gina Potter, Ronald Weasley, & Ginerva Weasley.

After I finished writing and everyone had signed I pulled out my wand and said "stickify" and the back of the paper went sticky and I put it up on the wall.

Then everyone sat down and Harry started to read what was on the piece of parchment that was sitting on the table.

"Dear True Marauder. June 19, 1978

Hello kids, the only people that are True Marauders are us and our kids, and their kids and so on, so if it is not us reading this, then hello kids and or grandkids, etc. .

When Harry finished reading, I was crying, so was Hermione, and Ginny and Harry looked close to.

"They didn't know did they?" said Hermione

"No they had no clue." I said

"Didn't know what?" said Ron

"They didn't know that they would never make it to see us see this room. They never suspected that that in 3 years they would be Murdered by Voldermort and their 2 kids would be the only kids that would see this room. We need to somehow get Sirius up here and take him around and bring him back here." I said.

"We do." Said Harry, "and I would really like to meet the God father that I never knew about."

"Well lets talk to Dumbledore." I said

"Good idea Gina, we would probably have to take him around in the Invisibility Cloak, because everyone thinks he is still in Azkaban." Said Harry

"Yeah, we would have to." I replied.

So we agreed to talk to Dumbledore. Harry got up and walked over to the bookshelf and pulled off of the shelf a book that had "The Marauders Pranks, September 1, 1971-June 29, 1978" printed in gold letters on the side. Harry opened it up and brought it back to the table. It was pretty big. We started to read the list of pranks that our parents had done and beside each prank in the margin we saw the names of the 4 Marauders and check marks beside each one and a number of days beside it. "That must be how many days of detention they each got" said Harry.

"Yes, it must be." Replied Ginny.

We continued to look and we saw right under the name of each prank and above the description was 5 stars and some were filled in. "That" I said "Must be how hard it is to do.

Under the description was another set of 5 stars "and that must be how much people hate it." Said Ron. "I guess if it has 5 stars filled in the teachers absolutely freaked out and all the students were very embarrassed, etc."

"Yup, that's probably what it is for." I replied.

We continued to look through the book and finally we found some pranks that looked interesting Harry started to read out loud. "Underwear outside, Everybody walks into the Great Hall and we put our wands under the table and say the spell, every ones underwear and bras, pops out and sits on the outside of their clothes. Don't do the teachers, not so you don't get more detention, but I don't think you really want to see McGonagoll's bra and underwear, just thinking about it makes me cringe." Under the description of what the method and hints and what happens is the spells and the time it takes to prepare to do the prank and how much planning it takes. The list went on and on.

"We should try some of these, I want to see the teachers faces when they see the pranks that our Dad and his friends did many years ago. It would be hilarious to see their faces if the recognize the pranks." Said Harry.

"But if we do them." I said "we need to do one of them when Sirius just shows up and we have to get him to help us plan something."

"That is the best idea I've ever heard, except for calling us The Marauders, hey wait a minute, we should when we send the letter to Sirius sign it the Marauders." Said Harry

"So cool" said Ron "great idea mate."

I grabbed the book from Harry and started to flip through the pages I came to the last page in the book and something caught my eye. I started to read it

"These pranks as of December 25, 1976 could not have been accomplished without the help of my beautiful girlfriend Lily Evans and soon to be wife, as of August 14, 1978 she will be Lily Potter. This book is divided into chapters by our years at Hogwarts. Don't attempt anything over your year unless you or another Marauder has the skills, they can by really bad if they backfire, believe me, I know. You don't want to be on the receiving end of one of our pranks when they backfire. If you are kids of myself or Lily than you most likely be smart enough to do them, and if you are the kids of Sirius than you probably will be able to. Have fun with these pranks. Remember, it helps to have your girlfriend plan with you. Don't forget that. Enjoy our prank book.

James Potter a.k.a Prongs"

"Wow, I said, there is a letter from Dad, and he is saying how he had mom helping work on the pranks." I said.

"I thought Mom stood for no trouble, she was Head Girl and top of her year?" said Harry

"Well dad was also head boy and he was also one of the top in his year, him and Sirius and Mom tied for top of their year." I replied

"Okay, Okay, you win, just because you are smart doesn't mean you can't get into trouble and like trouble." Said Harry

At that Hermione glared at him.

"Hey didn't at the end of the letter it say that to be a Marauder you had to have a Marauder name that you called each other?" asked Ginny

"It did Gins" replied Ron

"Well what are our names going to be?" asked Hermione

"Well why don't we each think up a name and then we will say who it best fits" I said

"Good idea Gina." Said Harry

So we sat back and thought of names. Hermione came up with her name first and she summoned a piece of parchment and wrote it down, next Ron, then Ginny, then I. I wrote it down and Harry was still sitting there thinking.

"Harry." Said Hermione

Harry jumped "What do you want Mione?"

"You were daydreaming."

"Oh was I?"

"Yes, so what was the name you came up with?"

"Oh, it was Bonns." Answered Harry

I said mine next "mine that I came up with was Manie."

"Mine was Banglash" said Hermione

"I hade Worgale" said Ginny

"And I had Polas." Said Ron

"Okay does everyone like the name that they chose?" I asked

"Well yes, or else we wouldn't have chosen it." Replied Ron

"Good, then that is your name" I said

"Cool, I'm Worgale" said Ginny

"I'm Banglash" said Hermione

"I'm Polas" said Ron

"I'm Bonns" said Harry

"And I am Manie." I said "Welcome Bonns, Manie, Banglash, Worgale, and Polas."

"So know that we have our names, lets go talk to Dumbledore." Said Hermione.

"Sure." Replied everyone

So we put back the prank book and sealed the peace of parchment, and opened the door and walked out.

We walked to the corridor by Dumbledore's office and Harry said "we shouldn't go by Dumbledore's office without the Invisibility Cloak, I'll just run up to the Common Room and get it, I'll be right back."

And he was gone.

Hermione, Ginny, Ron and I waited for a while. We leaned against the wall and then we slid down the wall and sat on the floor. Which was not very comfortable because it was stone and then Harry finally rounded the corner with the invisibility cloak.

"Okay, nobody is coming, lets get under." Said Harry.

We all got under the cloak and then headed to Dumbledore's office. We got to the gargoyle and I said "Lemon Drops" and the gargoyle sprang to life and we stepped on to the stairs. We got off the stairs and stood in front of the door to Dumbledore's office. Hermione knocked and then we heard "Come in."

We walked into Dumbledore's office and Dumbledore said "I really need to change that password, so you stop bugging me don't I?" and then he laughed. "What do you want?"

"Well Professor." Said Harry, "It's kind of a long story."

"I have all day, sit down."

We sat down and Harry started the story and I filled in bits about how we had found the hidden room. Dumbledore after we finished describing the room said "so you found or should I say The Marauders found it. That room was built as a secret meeting room for Godric Gryffindor when he held meetings. That room would only open up to a true Gryffindor, until The Marauder's changed the spell and put it as a true Marauder."

"Wow so the last person the was in that room before The Marauders was Godric Gryffindor himself?" said Hermione

"You are absolutely correct Ms. Granger. So The Marauder's must have found that room on one of their night wanders around the school, and changed the spell before they left at the end of their seventh year."

"Okay so, Professor, the real reason we are here is because on the table in the room we found a letter from the Marauders addressed to myself and Harry. It was signed James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. Harry and I were wondering if we could get Sirius and Remus to come to the school and if we could give them a tour of the school as it is now, 13 years after they graduated and left the school, and show them the room. The reason is they left on that note that only a true Marauder could open that door and the only true Marauders were themselves and their kids, and I guess, because Hermione, Ginny and Ron aren't their kids but they could open the door was because they were with us and we are the True Marauders, and now we have made them Marauders."

"And we would like to ask them some questions about the room, The Marauders and I would like to ask him some family questions." Said Harry

"We would take him around in the invisibility cloak if you wanted so nobody would see them, I am pretty sure they would be okay with going under the invisibility cloak as they spent their whole 7 years of Hogwarts under it." I said

"Gina, you write to Sirius and Remus and ask them if they would like to come to the school next Saturday. If they would like they could show up for breakfast, stay through lunch, and leave after dinner." Said Dumbledore.

"YEEEESSSS, thank you Professor." I screamed.

"Okay Ms. Potter, nothing to get excited about."

"Actually there is Professor."

"Okay then, whatever you say. Send the letters and tell me when you get a reply."

"Thanks Professor Dumbledore" said Harry and the 5 of us got up and left his office. We went back to the Charm's Department and opened the door again and walked into the room. Harry summoned a piece of parchment, a quill and some ink and I started to write the letter to Sirius.

Dear Sirius, (Padfoot)

I solemnly swear I am up to no good.


I arrived safely, and I have made some friends. Ginny Weasley, who is the younger sister of Ron Weasley who is Harry's best friend and Hermione Granger who is Harry's other best friend. We are on behalf of Dumbledore writing to ask you if you would like to come to Hogwarts next Saturday which is September 9. We would give you a tour and we would show you something interesting that I think you would like to see again. Harry would also like to meet you. He knows about what happened, Dumbledore and I told him last night after the welcome feast. So please reply and say if you would like to come. I am also writing to Remus, because I think he would like to see what we are going to show you. Hogwarts is as amazing as you described it and I think I am going to have a lot of fun.

Mischief Managed

Sincerely

Gina (Manie)

& the other Marauders

Harry Potter (Bonns) Hermione Granger (Banglash) Ginny Weasley (Worgale) Ron Weasley (Polas)

P.S. can you guess what it is?

I sealed the letter and then started on the next one.

Dear Remus (Mooney)

I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

Well I am righting from Hogwarts, it is as amazing as how you and Sirius described it in all of your stories. I have made some friends and Harry knows that I am his sister, and knows the story behind everything. Dumbledore and I told him last night. I was wondering if you would like to come to Hogwarts next Saturday which is September 9. Harry and I and our other friends would like to show you. I think you will like to see it again. So please send a letter back to me and I hope you can come. We'll explain everything when you get here. I have wrote Sirius and asked him to come also. Hope you can make it.

Mischief Managed

Sincerely

Gina (Manie)

& the other Marauders

Harry Potter (Bonns) Hermione Granger (Banglash) Ginny Weasley (Worgale) Ron Weasley (Polas)

P.S. can you guess what it is?

I sealed that letter and then Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Ron and I walked out of the room and went to find Hedwig and Lils to send the letter with. We found Hedwig first and I tied the letter to Sirius to her leg and then she flew off. Finally we found Lils and I tied the letter to Remus on her leg. She then flew off. Finally Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and I walked down to the Great Hall for dinner. We had spend a whole day finding a room for our group, naming our group, thinking up individual names and reading old letters and books that our parents had wrote and left to us. It was a pretty good day. Although I did get a bit emotional a few times and I admit I did cry while reading the letter that our father had put in the back of the prank book and the letter that he had put on the table. It was good though to find this stuff out about our parents that we didn't know, and probably would never have known about them. It was hard basically hearing the dead talking with those letters, and to think when they wrote them they had no problems, and didn't know their lives were going to end in a short while.

We arrived at the Great Hall and the 5 of us sat down at the Gryffindor table and grabbed some dinner. After dinner we returned to the common room. Harry and Ron started to play Exploding Snap and Ginny and I watched them. Hermione went up the girl's staircase saying she had some reading to do and then she was going to bed. Ron couldn't believe that she had reading to do even before we had our first classes.

I was getting pretty excited to start to properly learn magic, but I was also a bit nervous. I wanted to do well. After Harry and Ron finished their game of Exploding Snap they started to get up, but Harry sat back down again and said "Gina, would you like to work on learning how to play Quidditch?"

"Sure" I answered. "Sirius taught me the rules, but I never really got a change to practice the things on a broom. I can fly, and pretty well, but it was only just Sirius and I and it was sort of hard to play Quidditch in the middle of London in a small backyard with no empty fields around that were surrounded by trees. Sure I would love to learn some more things. When can we start?"

"Well we can go out after breakfast tomorrow. I'll ask Fred and George to come out and help us, they are the beaters on the Gryffindor team you know-"

"The best beaters you mean, right George?"

"Right Fred. We are the best beaters this Gryffindor has ever seen. Wouldn't you agree Harry?'

"Well I wouldn't go that far, but you are pretty good."

"Thank you Harry. See George he actually does complement us."

"So he does. What did you want to ask us Harry?"

"Well I was just asking Gina if she wanted to learn some more things about Quidditch. She knows the rules, but she doesn't really know the playing part of it if you know what I mean?"

"Of course we do Harry, and you want our help right? Fred and I'll meet you out on the pitch at 10:00 sharp, see you then."

Then they walked away.

"Strange aren't they?" I asked Harry

"Well they are twins and they are Weasley's if that's what you mean."

"I heard you Harry. No talking about my family." Yelled Fred from across the common room.

"Okay Fred." Yelled back Harry "so do you have a broom? Well of course you couldn't seeing your only a first year. We'll have you trained up so you will be first choice for the team next year. You can use my Nimbus."

"You have a Nimbus?" I asked

"Sure do, a Nimbus 2000. McGonagoll ordered it for me last year when she appointed me to seeker. Even though I was to young. I was the youngest seeker in a century."

"Wow, cool. Dad played Quidditch, with Sirius didn't he. He was a chaser."

"He sure was. That was the first thing people told me once they heard that I got seeker. They said it runs in my blood."

"Who said that?"

"Oh, it was Hermione, before we became friends."

"Why weren't you friends?"

"Because she was a bossy know-it-all, who wanted to prove that she was better that everyone else.:

"Oh, so why did you become friends then? I guess the question is more how did you become friends?"

"Well we rescued her from a very large Mountain Troll in the bathroom last Halloween, and we have been friends ever since."

"Okay, well night Harry."

"Night Gina."

And Harry and I went up our separate staircases and that is how my 2nd day at Hogwarts ended.

A/N I hope you like this chapter. I am proud of myself that I wrote this much. I hope you like it because it was hard for me to write, not the story itself, but having to write about Lily and James, and how they didn't know they were going to die, etc. If you want to read about those pranks that were in the prank book, I think I am going to write a story about Lily and James and The Marauders during their years at Hogwarts. If you have any ideas. Please say in your reviews. I appreciate the reviews and thanks to the people that sent in names for the group. Thanks again. Sorry it took so long to update, but it was not letting me upload.
